Do you believe that the string theory is correct?

Answer 1

In this dimension I do. In the countless others, Im not so sure.

Answer 2

I *strongly* believe that String Theory *could* be correct in the near *future*.

As of right now they are trying to work out the kinks. They have approximate answers from approximate equations. Nothing is finite with this theory yet.

In his book, page 140, "The Elegant Universe", Brian Greene states, "String theorists, as of this writing, are working vigorously to sharpen a set of new methods that promise to overcome the theoretical obstacles previously encountered. The difficulties that lie ahead will severely test the technical might of the world's superstring theorists, but the light at the end of the tunnel, although still distant, may finally be becoming visible."

Also, et al, "[In String Theory] even determining the equations themselves has proved to be so difficult that only approximate versions of them have so far been deduced. String theorists have thereby been limited to finding approximate solutions to approximate equations..."

But to be the *ONE* or at least a step towards uncovering the one UNIFIED theory? Isn't that grand?

I, personally, am in this for the long haul. I'm rooting for String Theory. It's beautiful, simple, and intriguing. And above all else, it is trying to do what all others have failed to do: Unify general relativity (Einstein's theory concerning gravity) with Quantum Mechanics.

Answer 3

11 dimensional string theory, (and 26 dimensional M theory), has not produced anything.

It is possible that the extra 7 dimensions of space in string theory, (that are not perceived), are mathematical deception that first appeared with 5 dimensional Kaluza-Klein Theory.

String theory is possibly deception, derived from adding dimensions of space to the already existing 3 dimensions of space one dimension at a time at 90 degree angles to the previous dimension.

That string theory is possibly invalid is stated at the end of the wikipedia article on string theory.

Answer 4

Well i do think we are thinking in the right direction by thinking about string theory but the fact that it can not be proved baffles me. But yes its true that the way we divide physical laws according to size of particles is not the way God did it. I truly believe we need to have something like string theory to be able to apply universal laws to all particles regardless of its size.

Answer 5

There is no doubt it is a very elegant theory. Is it correct? Not in its current formulation.I believe we are on the right track. But there is certainly alot of work ahead.

Unfortunately, it is an untestable theory

Answer 6

No, that's a theory, some ones opinion/appropriate wager or description of a few thing they are able to neither see or degree. the widespread component of the universe is means, whilst means is constrained with the aid of say gravity it manifests as remember to human beings.

Answer 7

In its current form, it cannot be correct, as it is excellent at predicting the existence of particles we know not to exist. However, it's very elegant and tantalizing. Something very like it is probably the right answer.

Answer 8

Hard to tell. The math is pretty solid, but they still have to test it. However, we can test it in the next few years using the LHC and LISA - so check back in 2020!

Answer 9

There are only about a few hundred people in the world who are qualified to answer this question.

Everyone else is guessing.

Answer 10

No, although it does have some useful ideas.
